..parisiensis (99.5%). An L. parisiensis species-specific profile was also identified by a random amplified polymorphic DNA technique. This is the first report of L. parisiensis isolation from humans...

..Seventy-two per cent (58/80) of these isolates had a profile identical to that of a type strain, while 27% (22/80) may correspond to new taxa since their ISR-PCR profiles did not match any of the known profiles...
